My Week #1.

So i might do the first of this type of post last week, but i had a pretty bog standard start to the year and barely did anything. And that's pretty much the same this week, but it's been abit more fun and i've had a few more ideas for this post.

So let's start.

This week has been a busy one! I've been Volunteering at a Charity Shop in my hometown of Coventry and this week i ended up doing 4 days out of 6 (would have been 5 if i had caught a 24 hour bug) and i couldn't have picked the worst week to do it! There was a re-stock delivery last weekend and we spent the whole week sorting it out! It wouldn't have been so bad really but a lot of people were off so there was extra work for less people...fun!

But i did have alot of fun changing the window up again! Last weekend i took the Christmas stuff completely done and gave it a complete make over and spent the week changing up the outfits on the mannequins...and i'm not overly into fashion, i prefer the make up pages in magazines to the fashion ones but i just love thinking up ideas to put into the window...and its something i'm considering maybe looking into as a proper career.

a few of my outfits from the week :)

And apart from that, i've not done loads...a lot of time with the boyfriend and my crazy as hell kitten.

This week i've loved...

Watching... There's been so many things, mainly on Netflix! Ever since i started my subscription, i've been hooked. This week it's been a horror sesh, with films like Case 39, Resident Evil Revelations and Sinister (All this will be reviewed on my other blog) and i've been getting addicted to more TV Shows, even since i've finished Hemlock Grove i've been looking for my next fix, and Lost Girl may just be that fix. And i've finally got into Gossip Girl...i've always been hooked by the trailers but never got round to watching it, but i'm addicted.

Listening to... i've barely listened to anything this week and nothing new. But i have been loving Frank Turner this week, especially Recovery and A Decent Cup of Tea (Both songs have personal meanings to me so being able to listen to them again has made me a happy bunny).

So that's all for this post, the content and layout of this post will quite likely change over time until it's something i'm completely happy with so if there's anything you think i should add to it or even remove...let me know in the comments below.

Coming back to blogging after a such a unexpectedly long break, felt quite frightening if I'm completely honest.

Is anyone gonna still be following? Even if they are, are they gonna be interested in the blog anymore? Have I made it too hard to find changing the name and domain?

I must have said 'i'll be back to blogging soon' so many times I've lost count! What makes this time different from all the other times I've said it?

One thing that I can definitely say is different, is my attitude to the bad days. The reason my break kept getting extended and extended was because everytime I had a 'off day' or my mental health was bad, I would struggle to write a post even if I had ones planned or I'd just refuse to write at all till I felt better, and then when I did feel better I'd struggle to get my motivation back up because I felt guilty for not posting. So it became a bit of an endless cycle.

FarGo village is probably one of my favourite
places in Coventry. The mixture of its urban setting, the stunning street art
and unique local businesses…it's the perfect place if you want something
different from the normal high street shops and cafes.

Fargo also have fun and unique events on a
regular basis, such as food festivals, vintage fairs and Makers Markets.

Recently I went to the Autumn Maker's
Market on behalf of Coventry Bloggers,which is a seasonal market that
gives local creatives and small businesses an opportunity to showcase what they
do and sell their products. This was my first time visiting the market and I
will definitely be going back to the next one!

When I arrived, I met up with Lucy who is FarGo’s
event manager who was really lovely and welcoming and made me feel at ease
which was so nice considering this was the first time I'd ever done something
like this without other Bloggers around! She told me about the makers market
and their passion for suppo…

So the other week, I went to another amazing Coventry Bloggers Event, arranged by the lovely Emily of Drained Beauty, this time at the Body Shop in Coventry City Centre.
I'll admit before I went to this event, my knowledge on the Body Shop was limited. I used to always get a gift set from there from an auntie every Christmas and I've followed them on Social Media for awhile now, but it's been awhile since I've tried anything by them. I had misconceptions that they were expensive and out of my price range, but how wrong I was.
Now onto the event itself!

Most of us met outside before the event, and I have to give a shout out to these girls. Some of them I've met quite a few times already and some I only first met at the event...but they are all amazing, friendly and encouraging people! They have restored my faith in the blogging community, and that's helping me to grow in confidence as a blogger.
When we entered the Body Shop, we were greeted by two lovely st…
